Senior Reefer yikai Posted December 8, 2009 Senior Reefer Share Posted December 8, 2009 how long since you added rocks? test your ammonia. it could also be bacteria bloom, high amounts of bacteria growing can cause cloudiness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewpid Posted December 8, 2009 Author Share Posted December 8, 2009 how long since you added rocks? test your ammonia. it could also be bacteria bloom, high amounts of bacteria growing can cause cloudiness.

Fuzzy Posted December 8, 2009 Share Posted December 8, 2009 saves you having to put in a piece of market prawn. You probably don't need to test for ammonia yet, its definitely there, let it cycle for 2 more weeks then test for Ammonia and Nitrites.

SRC Member MOssrope Posted December 8, 2009 SRC Member Share Posted December 8, 2009 check your salinity too. could be salinity spike that killed them and your new water. I caught a few and placed them in different salinity and they died respectively lowest first. Too bad they were ugly so my gf didnt cry. Maybe my 6-line did but too bad i caught them first.
